    2020 to 2028 is almost a repeat of 1984 to 1992.

    You get one chance if you win the primary. You won't be nominated twice. No serious democrat wants to waste that chance against an incumbent with a booming economy. None are that dumb. They are all waiting for 2024 or 2028. Meanwhile you get the fraudulent Indian, the elderly hair sniffer, and the filthy rich socialist who never worked a real job his entire life.

    The democrats need some time to get things under control. Right now they have a raging case of unelectable leftism. With each loss, the moderates gain power. By 2024 communism will be out of fashion, making an election possible, but a loss is still the most likely outcome. (inertia serves whoever Trump endorses, just as it served Bush Sr. in 1988) Stinging from that loss, the democrats will put forth a 2028 candidate who isn't even socialist. This will be all they need to do to stop the uninspiring post-Trump republican from being reelected.

    2028 will be somebody like Joe Manchin beating Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, or Ted Cruz.

    Meanwhile, brace yourself for the wailing when Trump picks up a few states relative to 2016.
